ARE YOU READY TO THE ACTION?

Sorry about the title. "Modern Strange Cowboy" has been playing in my head all day.

Anyway. It's been a long time since I've updated, hasn't it? I'd wanted to keep drawing after the convention was over, but I seemed to be in some sort of mental shock after incidents piled-up on each other immediately following the convention.

BUT REGARDLESS. MY GREAT REVIVAL IS AT HAND.


So yeah. This first drawing was just playing with designs of characters from my Rose Hero storyline. It was...the only drawing/page I completed in about a week. Just used a rolling ball pen for it.

Pictured above is how Tanner punishes himself for moping about and being unproductive. Notice that this drawing is dated ten days after the previous one. It was the first time Tanner tried to do linework with a brush after a period of mental shock, and the effects of it show.

LOOK AT THOSE MESSY LINES, OH MY GOD.

I think this was actually penciled prior to the convention, but only inked in the time following the previous drawing. I didn't want to use black to fill in space in the pages except for a few elements...so I used a black color pencil instead. Eh. So-so results.

This...this page was an oddball. It started as more world-building for my Requiem storyline, but...then it turned into fanart.

It's also the only bit of color I've used in months. That should worry me, right?


More world-building and brainstorming for the Requiem storyline. Brush was used for linework on everything but the mechanical cylinder. I enjoyed how the poses in the two panels in the top-right turned out.

MOAR WORLD-BUILDAN AND BRAINSTORMAN

HORY SHET! I still do life studies? I really should still do life studies...especially since they fill up my sketchbook faster, and I can reach my quota faster.

I still think the fully-extended hand looks a little odd. That was the only one that gave me trouble.

See that guy with the long hair? I fought him in a dream I had, and it compelled me to try and draw him. See those weird swords? We fought each other with those swords. See that weird party setting, filled with handfuls of partygoing guests? We fought each other there.

It was an awesome dream.


And this is a character sheet for my Requiem storyline, for Glyde, the main character. Here's to hoping that the penciled notes aren't too faded. I scanned in the penciled version of this page yesterday, and tried coloring it, so I may post that in the next update.

So yeah.

That's...nine drawings. Wow. That's..not much.

That brings me up to 229 drawings total.

...

I should have 270 by today, though.

I'M BEHIND BY 41 DRAWINGS?!



OH GOD I AM SO BEHIND JESUS CHRIST WHY AM I SO UNPRODUCTIVE

  1. Your dream page makes me think of Ash and Luke. Eh? The bottom of the page with the ballroom setting is super nice, like composition. fyi that's a wicked sword.

    i like the messy lines...

    the Rosa comic page is really nice. got me interested. maybe if the black pencil was really worked in to be flat, so you can't see any line strokes. maybe that'd help.
